How would you define Biotechnology? ?

If you had to give a simple, layman's term definition. Best answer wins points!!

P.S: I don't want the actual definition of Biotechnology that can be found online. I want a "Biotechnology for Dummies" type of answer.

Biotechnology is the application of biology, living things and their components to agriculture, medicine, commerce and industry.

It is the mechanism by which biology is converted into money.

Biotechnology is technology gained as a result of biological studies. ie: If we use our understanding of Genetics (a branch of biology) to, in a laboratory, modify a pineapple plant so that it and all of it's descendants are able to survive much colder climates and temperatures than before, then the seeds of that plant are an example of Biotechnology.
